      Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) is the sole procurer of water and power within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and beyond, with the mandate to ensure the supply of water and power to consumers. EWEC is part of ADQ, one of the region’s largest holding companies with a diverse portfolio of major enterprises spanning key sectors of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil economy. EWEC was formed in November 2018, succeeding the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC).

Wahat Al Zaweya BESS Power Project

Wahat Al Zaweya Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) power project is a 400-megawatt (MW) independent greenfield battery energy storage system, providing up to 800 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity, that will allow EWEC to provide additional flexibility to the system and ancillary services such as frequency response and voltage regulation.

The project will closely follow the model of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s successful independent power project programme, where developers enter into a long-term agreement with EWEC as the sole procurer. The project will involve the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance and ownership of the BESS system and associated infrastructure.
